Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'veas' used instead of 'ves'?

'Ves' is the simple present form, used for facts or things you are certain about ('Tú ves la mesa' - You see the table). 'Veas' is the special form (subjunctive), used when talking about wishes, emotions, commands, or uncertainty about that action. For example, 'I hope you see' requires 'Espero que veas'.
